Auburn-California listed among top SEC games this week by College Sports Wire
After an entertaining first week of college football season, several teams across the SEC will turn their attention to a fellow Power Five opponent in week two.
This week, five SEC teams will face a Power Five opponent. The day’s action begins with Vanderbilt traveling to Wake Forest for a 10 a.m. CT kickoff and concludes with Auburn facing California in Berkeley 11 and 1/2 hours later.
Looking ahead to this weekend’s action, College Sports Wire broke down the top five games of the weekend in the SEC. Dylan Callaghan-Croley of College Sports Wire lists Auburn-California as the fourth-most interesting game of the weekend, citing that the winning team can kickstart their goal of bowl eligibility on Saturday.
Hugh Freeze will face a Power Five team for the first time as the head coach of the Auburn Tigers on Saturday evening as the Tigers travel to Berkeley, California, to take on the California Golden Bears. Auburn defeated UMass at home 59-14 in week one, while California went on the road and defeated North Texas 58-21. This intriguing matchup features two programs looking to right the ship after a few difficult seasons; a win on Saturday for either would put both on track to be bowl-eligible this season.
Auburn-California is ahead of Mississippi State-Arizona and trails Ole Miss-Tulane, Texas A&M-Miami, and Alabama–Texas for the weekend’s top spot.
